The people with a direct interest in developing an

Wikipedia may not be in a position to pay you for your "affordable" wiki
hosting service. A supportive on-line community is sometimes a
requirement to keep something going.
If Wikimedia wants to provide charitable wiki hosting for worthwhile
projects then we should explicitly make this part of our mission
statement. Furthermore, if we want to do so, the respective wikis should
be independent of the main Wikipedia project, or any Wikipedia project,
and hosted on
wikimedia.org instead, e.g.
tokipona.wikimedia.org
klingon.wikimedia.org
elvish.wikimedia.org
This prevents the "bleed-over" effect into other wiki projects, where we
will inevitably get a Toki Pona Wikibooks, a Toki Pona Wikiquote etc., all
of which would effectively be original research wikis.
Furthermore, any such charitably hosted wiki should be approved by the
community at large.
